Liberty Lady Flames Dominate Grand Canyon Antelopes at Liberty Arena in Women's Basketball Showdown
In a commanding display of skill and teamwork, the Liberty Lady Flames secured a victory over the Grand Canyon Antelopes with a final score of 65-52. The Lady Flames now hold an impressive record, while the Antelopes are left to regroup after another setback.
The game, held at Liberty Arena in Lynchburg, saw the home team take control early on. The Lady Flames set the tone in the first quarter with 21 points against 11 from their opponents. Their offensive efforts were matched by a solid defense that limited the Antelopes to just eight points in the second quarter.
The home team's shooting was particularly effective; they boasted a field goal percentage of 46 and were even more impressive from beyond the arc with an extraordinary three-point shooting percentage of 62. This sharpshooting contributed significantly to their total tally. The Lady Flames also excelled at ball distribution, racking up 16 assists throughout the game which played a crucial role in their fluid offense.
On defense, Liberty was relentless, accumulating ten steals and three blocks, sending a clear message that they were not going to make it easy for Grand Canyon players to find scoring opportunities. Moreover, they outrebounded their opponents by four rebounds overall with strong performances on both ends of the court – grabbing six offensive rebounds and securing defensive possession with twenty-nine defensive rebounds.
Grand Canyon's efforts did not go unnoticed despite being overshadowed by Liberty's performance. They fought valiantly and managed to put up fifteen points in both third and fourth quarters but struggled with accuracy from two-point range where they had only thirty-six percent success rate. Their free throw percentage stood at fifty-nine percent which indicated missed opportunities at capitalizing on fouls committed by Liberty who had eighteen personal fouls over four quarters.
The upcoming schedule has fans eagerly anticipating when The Liberty Lady Flames will face off against Randolph Wildcats at Liberty Arena on December 30th. This encounter promises to be another exciting chapter for women’s basketball enthusiasts who can catch all live action as it unfolds without any broadcast networks covering this event.
